With all that has been said/read latley, this little blurb seemed strangely
appropriate: Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Mr. Common
Sense. Mr. Sense had been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old
he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He
will be remembered as having cultivated such value lessons as knowing when to
come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm and that life isn't
always fair. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't
spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not kids,
are in charge). His health began to rapidly deteriorate when well intentioned
but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy
charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from
school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an
unruly student, only worsened his condition. Mr. Sense declined even further
when schools were required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a
student; but, could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and
wanted to have an abortion. Finally, Common Sense lost the will to live as the
Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals
received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense finally gave up the
ghost after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot,
she spilled a bit in her lap, and was awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense
was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust, his wife, Discretion;
his daughter,Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by two
stepbrothers; My Rights and Ima Whiner. Not many attended his funeral because
so few realized he was gone. If you still know him pass this on, if not join
the majority and do nothing.
